Tom Wolf on Crime

Moratorium on death penalty; reprieves to death-row inmates

Wolf signed a series of executive orders for political appointees and state workers, banning gifts to state officials and requiring that all state contracts with private-sector providers go through a bidding process.
He declared a moratorium on the death penalty, granting temporary reprieves to 180 inmates on death row as a state task force formally reviews the policy.

Moratorium on the death penalty

All four Democratic candidates support either a moratorium on or an end to the death penalty.
McCord, McGinty and Wolf agree a moratorium on the death penalty is in order while studying its value. Schwartz would sign legislation to end the death penalty in Pennsylvania.
